Atelier Re- Unfinished EuropeCathedrale Saint-Pierre de BeauvaisBeauvais, Franceconstructed in 1225 - 1548 Marking the peak of gothic architecture, St. Pierre de Beauvais never reached completion. After partially collapsing several times due to its ambitious scale, its fragmented remains hold a worrysome future. In contrast to today's primary use as a tourist-attracting monument, cathedrals in the medieval times served far beyond their religious ground as a social and cultural center of knowledge and trade.

Through methodological mappings of the present condition we will be able to draw conclusions on the cathedral's use and perception by its visitors, and come to acknowledge existing qualities worth preserving, as well as potentials or necessities for intervention. Our intention will be to convert the cathedral's position in society further towards its initial relevance, and physically doing so in an intrusive, yet non-disruptive manner.

Running from 1st of September 2014 to the 15th of December 2014, the atelier this semester is assisted by Michael Chomette.
